Hello Felix I think you might have read this bug report a bit fast... This is actually for the kernel root= parameter. What I'm trying to point out, is that in order to use grub2 without UUID on file systems, the proposed solution will work great. File system UUID is a sure way to get into trouble if one is using image-based deployment (fog, ghost...), because one usually will have a new UUID on each filesystem, but kernel root=UUID=... will point to an non existing fs. Without being able to disable this feature and use for instance root=/dev/sda2 as a root device as opposed to root=UUID=... in the grub configuration one will have issues. Of course, one could do this manually, but it will fail every time you get a new kernel, or update your grub configuration. One could of course argue that one shouldn't use image based installations, but i beg to differ, and would like to point out that an image based deployment system is much faster than an installation based deployments.
I really hope you will take these considerations into account, because this really is a serious issue for us, and probably many others. -Eskild P.S. sorry about not using diff -u when I made the patch... -- /etc/default/grub cannot disable use of UUID https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/499483 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
